The land was ours before we were the lands.

The land was ours before we were the lands.

Summary

This quote reflects the idea that humans, as a species, did not come into existence prior to the existence of the land. Instead, it suggests that the land preexisted humans, indicating that we are inherently connected to and dependent on the natural world. The quote highlights the notion of humans as temporary inhabitants, emphasizing the need for responsible stewardship and respect for the environment. It prompts us to recognize that land ownership is a transient concept, urging us to cultivate a sense of gratitude and harmony with the land that sustains us.

I often wonder whether we do not rest our hopes too much upon constitutions, upon laws and upon courts. These are false hopes; believe me, these are false hopes. Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it; no constitution, no law, no court can even do much to help it. And what is this liberty which must lie in the hearts of men and women? It is not the ruthless, the unbridled will; it is not freedom to do as one likes. That is the denial of liberty, and leads straight to its overthrow. A society in which men recognize no check upon their freedom soon becomes a society where freedom is the possession of only a savage few; as we have learned to our sorrow.
